LS&A provided architecture andinterior design services for the renovation of an industrial warehouse inCambridge near Kendall Square into an office building. The challenge was how to make an entryexperience for both pedestrians and drivers who parked in the basement of thebuilding. When LS&A first visitedthe building, all of the occupants entered through the emergency exit stair, orthrough the garage. It was unclear howto enter the building from either location. We added a little brick building to the Rogers Street side of thebuilding that served as lobby, entry and emergency egress. The brick fit inwith the original building, but the windows, lighting and signage gave it anupdated and attractive image. The garageentry was solved by changing the entrance to the passenger entry to face thegarage and then by adding lighting canopies overhead, and embedded lighting andfloor material change below, established a walking path that could also handletraffic. The strong visual elementoverhead organized the space and made the garage entry experience almost aspleasant as the street entry.
